If neither of you are baptized, just continue to not go. NO ONE, I mean NO ONE, can force you into staying, they can't even punish you. Good luck in your marriage, and good luck in leaving that uber controlling book publishing company.

Meeting RollerDave and seeing his aposta-truck up close
by Gopher insometimes when someone new comes on the board and makes a big splash, you wonder if it's all for real.. rollerdave arrived on this board in the last couple months and has lit it up with his insight and wit, including recent experiences dealing with his old family and congregation.. after i pm'd dave here i learned he was indeed the same dave i knew back in a north-side minneapolis kingdom hall oh so many years ago.
we talked on the phone last weekend and actually got together for the first time last night.
as i expected he is just as genuine and witty and fun as he shows on this discussion board.

Yeah, I spoke with Dave the other night, very nice man. He was lucky to have caught me, as I have a terrible schedule, usually I'm either working or playing in the band, or trying to spend a few precious moments with my great friends. One of these days, I plan to get up to MN, and meet "the big man", and I'm looking forward to it. And Gopher, when I'm there I'd like to meet you too

No worries at all Roller Dave, I just was caught off guard, that's all. Always nice to chat with someone in "real life", even if just on the phone.

Was everybody drinkin last night??? I know I was "really chillin" when my phone rang last night, I was pissed at first, but then mellowed once I knew who it was, and had a nice chat. I was on my third Makers and Coke double, and zoning out with some Little Feat live "Waiting on Colombus" and Bo Ramsey.
I love to turn off all the lights in the house, recline in my chair, and light the candles, then pour a few strong drinks, and zone out to some killer live albums.

Man, there are some other players here, anyone else in working bands??? As for my gear setup, I'm a traditionalist, I like my 335 plugged into one of my tweed amps with a reverb tank, then I use a Danelectro tuned to Open D for slide work, and use a trem and a Fulldrive for slide. I also have a Tele, and a LP with P90's and one with PAF style humbuckers.

I am being stalked (and not by Awake&Watching)
by RollerDave insome of you know that i had an attempted home invasion back in may that i ran off with my trusty scatter-gun.. what i never bothered to mention is that before that, we had a suspicious red honda suv trolling past our driveway several times a day for a week or so before that.. then the attack.. then we had a watcher down in the cul de sack in front of our place whom we photographed and videotaped as she sat watching our home then trolled past our drive peering up at the house.. then the red suv followed my daughter home.. just lately, my proximity alarms went off and i rushed out to see someone running off our property to a late-model red camaro or trans-am and tearing off.
all i could see was the feet and bottom of the vehicle.. now, today, there is a large, suspicious eurovan parked across the entrance of our driveway for like, thirty minutes with a woman matching the description of the watcher in it.. as soon as a young man who lives here gets into his car to drive off, it tears out of here and can't be found.. we have attracted someones interest.. whoever they are, they are incredibly stupid to be so open about it, to give me any indication my daughter is at risk, to think the only eyes watching them are the ones they can see.. to think i am too dumb or stingy to afford night-vision surveillance, or that i would even hesitate to slaughter them like a pig if they threaten my loved ones.. i doubt my watchers are jwd or even jw related, the watcher has been seen to be smoking.
i wondered if it might be related to the ugliness with my mother's poa, but that has concluded and still i am watched.. there was a bit of ugliness surrounding my niece matilda and how they demolished her mom, catlady.

Dave, this is nothing to mess with, even though you're armed. I would certainly involve the police, I hear they're real assholes up in MN anyway, AND also perhaps you should get a license number off the vehicle(s). Also do NOT rule out some sort of hired PI like Sassy aluded to, my company does this all the time when we have a major suit over an injury, etc. Don't know if you're in this position currently but if so, I'd bet that's who it is.

Since these are my FAVES, and not just a list of who is "the best" by some form of technical wizardry or gadgets. Here is mine:
1. Freddy King - Blues god (ever wonder where Clapton got his ideas? Listen to Freddy)
2. Hollywood Fats - West Coast Swing legend
3. BB King - Tasty, great tone, great vibrato, singing like phrasing
4. Duane Allman - THE slide god, and just a great player all around, I still get goose bumps when listening to Fillmore
5. Billy F Gibbons - the early ZZ Top stuff from the 70's is killer, TONE, TONE, TONE!!!! He is my rock and roll hero
6. Bo Ramsey - tone master, always tasty, some of the spookiest slide playing you'll ever hear, and just one of a kind guy
7. Marc Ford - former Black Crowes lead player, and now has his own band
8. Otis Rush - this is the other half of Clapton's ideas
9. Willie Johnson - Howlin Wolf's original lead guitarist, killer stuff here
10. Eric Clapton - I love the guy, and he taught me to dig back into the masters to find the good stuff.
I play in a really busy blues band, so my guys are mostly blues, or bluesy-rock stuff. I also love some of the country cats too, like Pete Anderson, Roy Nichols, and Redd Volkaert, and I'm a big Southern Rock fan too and Classic Rock, so of course you have to add Steve Gaines, Gary Rossington, Ed King, Allen Collins (all Skynyrd boys), Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Mike Campbell, Jimmy Page, and Angus Young to the mix also.

Rollerdave returns to the KH!
by RollerDave inwell folks, it had to happen, i returned to the kingdom hall.. or at least to its parking lot.. but not to worry my little jwd'ers, my return was in true rollerstyle!.
i had dropped off my mom a few days previous when she made some remarks that steamed me, i had felt she was talking through her teeth, but i now know i could only have been half right.. she calls and rambles a while, then directs me to keep her teeth safe.
after i got the explanation for this cryptic remark from her i go and investigate..... there, on my bathroom counter, next to the tushie-cleanliness paraphernalia, is an unexplained white plastic container which contained my mother's lower plate.. smelled 'minty.'.
